After a great tour kickoff in Minsk, Belarus [18th April],
Diabolical Death/ Black Metal titans BELPHEGOR dealt with
heavy opposition and censorship within Russia resulting in three shows being
cancelled.

The band commented on this: "The band apologizes to Russian supporters. The
troop tried everything to secure the shows. The St. Petersburg concert was
canceled just a few hours before BELPHEGOR was
scheduled to enter the stage on the 19th of April. We arrived in Moscow hoping
for the best on the 20th. We were ordered to remove the already hanging backdrop,
then told that stage props such as sculptures and crosses were forbidden, and
Helmuth was not allowed to do vocals for the track "Lucifer Incestus".
During the second track, the sound engineer had been forced to mute the vocals
for the rest of the show because of our lyrical content. We were outraged by the
entire experience. Afterward, we were informed that we would be unable to play
in Ekaterinburg [21st April] and Krasnodar [23rd April]."

Helmuth adds: "We've toured Russia three times since 2006 and always
had amazing experiences. We've ignored all protests including death threats
during the past few weeks. I was aware many black and death metal bands were
having trouble recently, but we still marched in. To people who think they know
everything: When that waste of oxygen approached us at the airport on the 19th,
he had a hand in his pocket. I expected him to have a weapon. If I had hit him,
I would have been thrown in jail, and he would have ended up in the hospital.
That was their plan; he had that other degenerate filming the entire thing.
Special thanks to brother Mr. Karl Sanders, who had the courage to block
him as he continued to harass me. I'm a musician, not a fighter, especially in
Russia. I've survived Typhus and have already been dead for six hours, hanging
on only by machines followed by open-heart surgery. I do not fear anyone other
than myself. No excuses to anyone!! End of story. It is of the utmost importance
that artists have freedom of expression. Throughout history religions and
governments have and continue to censor creative works all around the world.
Thank you very much to all metalheads who loyally stand behind us and fight
against oppressors and hypocritical moralizers. Russian supporters, be prepared!! BELPHEGOR are
unstoppable and will return."

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS NEW ALBUM
UPDATE![2016.04.10]
Poland’s black / death metal rebels
DEVILISH
IMPRESSIONS who have recently completed their work on the new album,
have posted some updates:

"It's been quiet here for some time now so I've decided I'd give you a small
update... The promo package containing the new tunes has recently been and is
still being sent out to record labels out there. I think we've already mentioned
earlier on that the new record is definitely the most complex and multi-layered
we've ever done and it's certainly not as catchy as e.g. 'Simulacra'.
Therefore I really hope ppl at A&R departments won't push it back before giving
it several spins as it simply requires decent amount of time to dig it. So, as
you can see, things actually are on the move and, frankly speaking, there isn't
much more we can really do about it at the moment.
As for questions regarding our live appearances, well, from our point of view it
just really makes no sense to try to arrange yet another touring cycle in order
to keep on promoting our previous records, especially seeing we've got this new
album that we really can't wait to cast a spell on you with... So, those of you
Devils who truthfully care about the band, share this post, keep your fingers
crossed and watch this space for further updates. Meanwhile, enjoy some of our
previous offerings listed below. Horns up !!! " - Quazarre. p.s. Pic above taken by Ewa Olbryt shows Quazarre at

"DOOMSDAY RITUALS" NEW ALBUM TITLE AND COVER ART REVEALED![2016.04.07]

Today CENTINEX
Swedish death metal unit have revealed the cover and title of their next studio
album!

The follow-up to 2014's come-back record "Redeeming Filth" will be titled
"Doomsday Rituals" and its cover, made by Bahrull Marta of
Abomination Imagery, is available below.

Surprisingly reunited in 2014 after a nearly eight-year hiatus, the band dosen't
want the fans to be kept waiting another near-decade for a new installment.
Recordings of "Doomsday Rituals" are taking place at Wing Studioswith DEMONICAL's
Sverker Widgren, and the whole process is already well in the middle.

Martin Schulman (bass) commented: "Musically the album is a natural follow-up to
"Redeeming Filth". Heavy riffing, deep brutal vocals, everything from slow via
mid-tempo to faster stuff, a perfect mix of the early 90's Florida and Stockholm
sound".
